I'm confused. Got a letter or whatever that seemed to say the price was going up but would get a 3 dollar credit for some period. The price did go up on my last bill. However, in an email from Dish they indicate that there would be no price increases for the 2009 year.
DISH Network is still proud to offer our lowest everyday prices and pleased to announce that we are freezing pricing on popular packages and services.
No Price Changes for 2009
DISH Network HD programming packages ? BronzeHD, SilverHD and GoldHD

DishFAMILY and other basic all-digital programming packages
Local channels
DishHOME Protection Plan

I got that one too. At first is sounds like it is geared to your package and that it is not going up. It is certainly not the case with my subscribtion, having the AEP w/locals and platinum HD.

I read it that way at first also. But i think they are saying there is no increase on these 6 things.(Not everything just these 6)

Definitely a low/sneaky way of advertising it. To me, no price changes for 2009, means that. NO PRICE CHANGES.
It should say no price changes on these services, but then they wouldnt fool anyone that way.
Who cares what the marketing speak says? Everyone should know better than to believe the marketing at face value anyway (for any company, for any product).
The fact is that Dish, and every other provider, raised rates for most packages, because the various networks that they get programming from raised their rates, and as anyone who has taken Intro to Business knows, price increases are always passed along to the customer. It is what it is. Arguing over the meaning of a marketing release isn't going to change your bill any...
Depends upon what you sign up for. I'm on the no-longer-available HD Absolute. That package and the 4-for-$40 for premiums stayed the same so my bill is unchanged.
I just happened to get that email at it was formatted as such (dots added because the spaces are stripped out when posting).

So the formatting (bold and indents) would give a better indication that the indented items pertain to the bolded headline.
